GDT: Looks Like My Luck Is Needed Oilers @ Kraken

[Mr Kot]

Let's switch it up a bit and I'll make GDT, give Morph a break today.

These aren't confirmed, just the last roster with Rodrigo added.

 

[McAsuno]

I’d give Rodrigues the game tonight and Pickard for the BOA.
Stuart Skinner get well soon, but stay the f*** away for a bit k thanks.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Boy that lineup makes me want to have eye surgery again.

Holy shit that is decade of darkness bad.

 

[TKB21]

Totally makes sense to have stone hands Pods on the first line instead of former 40 goal guy Skinner…

Rodrigues played last night, don't think they'd make his first game a back to back situation unless it was absolutely necessary.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Shame that O-Rod isn't putting up the kind of AHL numbers that Jordan Binnington, Matt Murray, and Cam Ward were putting up in the AHL before winning their teams the cups as rookies.

 

[FlameChampion]

I’d be surprised if Rodrigues plays at all in any game down stretch even if Skinner is out for a bit.

 

[PitkanensGitch]

Totally makes sense to have stone hands Pods on the first line instead of former 50 goal guy Skinner…

50 in the O you mean?

Yea, went and checked the stats today. Rodrigue is struggling. Delia too. Not sure why we don't have a single impressive goaltender in the org at any level.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Ryan got sent down as well

Because they've never prioritized goaltending.

Decade of Darkness was never this good. You're being too dramatic

 

[Louis Cypher]

Probably nothing to worry about but for injury callup does O-Rod need to go through waivers?

Dude put up great numbers last year. I paid a premium for his bloody rookie card. Nows it's probably worth $3.00. Sigh. I need to stop buying cards.
Last year bought:
Broberg rookie > gone
Holloway cards > gone
Foegle rookie > gone
Lavoie rookie > gone
Savoie rookie > minors

Need to stop buying cards.

Naw meant 40

 

[McAsuno]

Oh yeah? Didn’t know. Welp. Rooting for Pickard then.

Samuel Johnsson won goalie of the year Hockey Allsvenskan, so there is that lol

But ya how they decided on Delia was a head scratcher.

I know the hope was Rodrigue would continue to do get better, but they picked a bottom of the barrell vet to back him up.

Just look at that crop of forwards. That's some truly awful stuff.

 

[Canovin]

Just look at that crop of forwards. That's some truly awful stuff.

Let's look at the forwards while ignoring the Oilers have Ekholm, Nurse, Bouchard, Walman, Kulak on D.

That's nowhere near DoD

He did to go down in October, although if it's an emergency call up he might not need it.

Would be dumb of them to call him up if he does require waivers

As for the cards I usually try to collect ever Oiler rookie card whether or not it's in an Oiler jersey or not.

Shitty thing is a guy like Broberg's card even though he is a better player now might be worth less in St Louis. There is a premium on Canadian teams rookie cards. I loved getting Maple Leaf rookie cards and selling them on Ebay. Igor Ozhiganov was one I did really well on. was the acetate one or something

Bouchard and Ekholm are not the same players they were last year. Nurse is who he always was.

No kidding.

This line-up would have kicked the shit out of the HOPE era teams. It's not even close.

 

[McHelpus]

Ryan got sent down as well

Any word if savoie got called up?

 

[McDrai]

Boy that lineup makes me want to have eye surgery again.

Holy shit that is decade of darkness bad.

Idk man. We outplayed Dallas yesterday and put up like 44 shots against them (without McDrai). During the Decade of Darkness, I remember getting routinely outplayed by the opposition. It was like we were an AHL team playing against NHL teams. Remember that game we played against San Jose and they put up 60 shots on Scrivens? That’s how bad our team was back then lol. This is way better (and I’m very down on the team right now. We aren’t winning jack shit this year barring a surprise goaltending effort from Pickard/Rodrigue/Skinner)

Speaking of Scrivens. Would take him over Stool Skinner also

 

[oXo Cube]

This current Oilers team has 4 defensemen who are all better than anyone the team had between Visnovsky and Sekera.

Kulak might have been the best defender on some of those teams.
